  • Publication number: 20220230700
    Abstract: A detection is made by a processing device allocated to a memory device test board of a distributed test platform that a memory sub-system has engaged with a memory device test resource of the memory device test board. A test is identified to be performed for a memory device of the memory sub-system. The test includes first instructions to be executed by a memory sub-system controller of the memory sub-system in performance of the test and second instructions to be executed by the processing device in performance of the test. The second instructions are to cause one or more test condition components of the memory device test resource to generate one or more test conditions to be applied to the memory device while the memory sub-system executes the first instructions. Responsive to a transmission of the first instructions to the memory sub-system controller, the second instructions are executed.

  • Patent number: 11328789
    Abstract: A test rack includes two or more memory device test boards where each memory device test boards includes two or more memory device test resources. Each of the two or more memory device test boards includes a separate processing device allocated to the memory device test resources of a corresponding memory device test boards. A processing device of a test board detects that a first memory sub-system has engaged with a first memory device test resource of the corresponding memory device test board. The processing device identifies a first test to be performed for a first memory device of the first memory sub-system, where the first test includes one or more first test instructions to be executed in performance of the first test. The processing device causes the one or more first test instructions to be transmitted to the first memory sub-system, where the first test is performed by the one or more first test instructions executing at the first memory sub-system.

  • Patent number: 11152077
    Abstract: A processing device of a memory device test resource detects that a memory sub-system has engaged with a first memory sub-system interface port and a second memory sub-system interface port of the memory device test resource. The processing device causes a power supply signal to be transmitted from the memory device test resource to the memory sub-system via the first memory sub-system interface port. The processing device identifies a test to be performed for a memory device of the memory sub-system, where the test includes one or more test instructions to be executed in performance of the test. The processing device causes the one or more test instructions to be transmitted from the memory device test resource to the memory sub-system via the second memory sub-system interface port, where the test is performed by the one or more test instructions executing at the memory sub-system.

  • Publication number: 20210191832
    Abstract: A memory device test resource includes a dedicated processing device for the memory device test resource, the dedicated processing device configured to facilitate testing of a memory device of a memory sub-system coupled to the memory device test resource. The memory device test resource further includes a memory sub-system interface port coupled to the dedicated processing device and configured to couple the memory device test resource to the processing device, a test condition component coupled to the dedicated processing device and configured to generate a test condition at the memory device test resource, and a test resource monitoring component coupled to the dedicated processing device and configured to monitor one or more conditions at the memory device test resource.

  • Patent number: 6632260
    Abstract: Enclosures having adjustable clean gas flow environments and methods of enclosed pressure differential distribution technology. Specifically, clean gas flow enclosures, which provide for the isolation of materials from airborne micro-particulate contamination. An embodiment of the invention utilizes a small footprint, modular, selectable, clean-gas flow environment for handling and isolating materials. The environment can be a clean room class environment by providing filtered gas from a gas flow generator (12) through a gas filter (13) to a filtered gas flow space (20). An embodiment of the invention provides a first plenum (23) and a second plenum (26) so that both a horizontal filtered gas flow and vertical filtered gas flow may be used separately or in combination within the same filtered gas flow space (20).
